4 Best Super Green, Super Good Powders For Detoxing

Suddenly on the hunt for green powders? You're not alone. There's nothing like an unseasonably warm spring day to remind you that bikini season is on the near horizon.

With one eye on the rising temperature, and the other on our post-winter waistlines (thank you cronuts + Game of Thrones marathon sessions), we're all systems #fitspo.

Green powders have received a lot of attention lately for their seemingly magical detoxification and alkalising powers (Elle Macpherson launching her own high-end version will do that) and team ELLE hasn't been imune to the hype.

Combining potent doses of bioavailable vitamins and nutrients with gut-friendly pre and probiotics, powdered supplements sound like a one-glass answer to all of our detox dreams.

While even the best green powder on the market won't replace a healthy diet full in fresh wholefoods, one of these water-soluble powders can fill the nutritional gaps left by a busy lifestyle whilst aiding digestion and giving an inner-glow faster than any peptide-pumped face cream can. We'll drink to that!

"I'll try to have a spoonful with water the morning after a night on the wines and it definitely helps to get me back on track both on the inside as well as on the outside. Day to day though I'll usually blend it into a smoothie or stir it through some almond milk in the morning, but it'd also nice as a 3pm pick me up on afternoons when I've reached my daily skim-piccolo quota. I wouldn't say it's delicious, but is definitely bearable, and to be honest it's that slight funky taste that makes me feel like it's doing something good for me!" Sara McLean, acting beauty editor.

"I have resisted green drinks and juices for years but Elle Macpherson's ageless looks, and the sleek black caddy her wellness powder is packaged in, are difficult to ignore. After one week I was a convert. I don't know what this stuff does but I have greater energy throughout the day and can mostly avoid the mid-afternoon trips to the snack machine.I don't look like Elle, which frankly would be strange, but I feel reenergised." - Damien Woolnough, deputy editor.

"With over 75 ingredients, including pre and probiotics, I feel smug taking this all natural supplement with water every morning. Honestly? The flavour isn't great, but I do notice a difference in both energy levels and my skin when I drink-up daily." Alison, digital contributor. Good Green Stuff, $79.95, Nuzest.com.au

"I switched from Good Green Stuff to Vital Greens - purely because of availability, and I have to say this semi-sweet, pineappley-y smelling tub doesn't make my stomach turn first thing in the morning. Plus, I my digestion issues have faded and I'm not reaching for the chocolate mid-afternoon. That's got to be a good thing?" Alison, digital contributor. Vital Greens, $24.99, chemistwarehouse.com.au
